Complications such as heart attack, stroke or death can occur after hip replacement as with other forms of major surgery. These complications are rare and the anaesthetist will not allow the operation to proceed if it is felt that the risks are significantly higher than normal.
18 maj 2024 · We previously reported the five to ten-year results of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) implant. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survivorship, radiographic results, and clinical outcomes of the BHR at long-term follow-up.
9 sie 2024 · It was observed that the main failure cases were due to aseptic loosening and side effects generated by metallic particles and debris, representing 20.1% for each cause of the total number of revisions.
The Birmingham hip replacement may have a very low failure rate at 8 years, approximately 1%. More recent data suggests that a slightly higher early failure rate may be present. It is thought that once the first 1-2 years have passed the risk of failure becomes very low.
11 mar 2023 · Cons of Hip Resurfacing. The potential health impacts of metal debris that may result from a metal-on-metal joint is not well understood. There is a small risk of nerve injury and associated muscle weakness in the leg. There is also a small risk of fracture, especially in older females.
31 mar 2015 · The objective of the current study is to evaluate long term survivorship and functional outcome of Birmingham hip resurfacing surgery in osteoarthritic hip patients performed by a single surgeon.
